BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

For many people when their feet are cold the first thing people reach for to warm their feet is a sock. Socks are versatile articles of clothing, being that they come in a variety of fabrics and colors. While socks are a useful method of warming one's foot, they can be dangerous as socks often glide when in contact with hard floors and surfaces.

Therefore, it is the object of the present invention to provide a sock that can be worn on the feet. The sock is designed to be used on either the left or the right foot. The sock has rubber gromets on the bottom section to protect the user from slipping when the socks are worn on hard surfaces, such as wood or tile.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention is a sock designed to be worn on the foot of the user. The present invention includes multiple sections of the sock with each section being made of a designated material. Each section of the sock is attached to the section next to it with a seam made by stitching the two sections to one another. The sock has an anti-slip mechanism built in by having rubber grommets attached to the underside of the foot portion.

DETAIL DESCRIPTIONS OF THE INVENTION

All illustrations of the drawings are for the purpose of describing selected versions of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. The present invention is to be described in detail and is provided in a manner that establishes a thorough understanding of the present invention. There may be aspects of the present invention that may be practiced or utilized without the implementation of some features as they are described. It should be understood that some details have not been described in detail in order to not unnecessarily obscure focus of the invention. References herein to “the preferred embodiment”, “one embodiment”, “some embodiments”, or “alternative embodiments” should be considered to be illustrating aspects of the present invention that may potentially vary in some instances, and should not be considered to be limiting to the scope of the present invention as a whole.

In reference to FIGS. 1-3 , the present invention is a sock that can be worn on an individual's foot. The sock comprises an upper section 1 a middle section 2, and a foot section 3. The sections are connected together by sewing each section on the section adjacent to it.

The upper section 1 is made of cotton material.

The second end of the upper section is connected to the first end of the middle section 14 by sewing the two sections together, produce a first sew line 6. The first sew line extends 6 the entire perimeter of both the upper section and the middle section 2.

The middle section 2 has a first end 14 and a second end 15. The middle section 2 has a front side 8 and a rear side 9. The middle section 2 of the sock has a stripe of cotton material that extends the entire length on the rear side 9. The cotton stripe 4 is connected to the middle section 2 by sewing it to the middle section, that wraps the circumference of the users calf, producing a third sew line 10 and a fourth sew line 11.

The middle section 2 is connected to the foot section 3 by sewing the two sections together, producing a second sew line 7 adjacent between the upper section 1 and the foot section 3. The second sew line 7 extends the entire perimeter of both the middle section 2 and the foot section 3. Attached to the soles of each foot section 3 is a plurality of rubber grommets 5 to prevent the wearer from slipping.

The foot section 3 only has a first end. The second end of the middle section 15 is connected to the first end of the foot section 16 by sewing the two sections together. The foot section 3 has a top side and a bottom side. On the bottom side of the foot section 3, rubber gromets 5 are connected to the cotton fabric.

Although the invention has been explained in relation to its preferred embodiment, it is to be understood that many other possible modifications and variations can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
